I am an artist. I'm a poet. Not many really read poetry anymore (most don't read anymore) But thats what I am, by default and with lack of a better term; a poet. It is time for a renaissance! I'm tired of writing on the walls, but that is where you will find me; just waiting, and writing. Tell a soul. Pay your taxes and hide from the mosquito's until they serve tocos for Ramadan, or paint it. I'm a poet.... Not many really read poetry anymore...

Favorite saying

• "I was walking among the fires of Hell, delighted with the enjoyments of Genius; which to Angels look like torment and insanity. - William Blake You will always be fond of me. I represent to you all the sins you never had the courage to commit. - Oscar Wilde The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion. -Albert Camus They deem me mad because I will not sell my days for gold; and I deem them mad because they think my days have a price. - Khalil Gibran None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free. - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You trade in your sense for an act. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask. There can't be any large-scale revolution until there's a personal revolution, on an individual level. It's got to happen inside first. - Jim Morrison All good things are wild and free. - Henry David Thoreau Any man more right than his neighbors constitutes a majority of one already. -Henry Thoreau While I do not believe that a plant will spring up where there is no seed, I have great faith in the sea. Convince me that you have a seed there, and I am prepared to expect wonders. - Henry David Thoreau It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see. - Henry David Thoreau A fool sees not the same tree that a wise man sees. -William Blake An intelligent man is sometimes forced to be drunk to spend time with his fools. - For Whom the Bell Tolls, Ernest Hemmingway All things are subject to interpretation whichever interpretation prevails at a given time is a function of power and not truth. -Nietzsche nothing just happens everything is planned -L. Fletcher Prouty All generalizations are false, including this one. -Samuel L. Clemens There are three classes of people: those who see. Those who see when they are shown. Those who do not see. -Leonardo da Vinci The noblest pleasure is the joy of understanding. - Leonardo da Vinci And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it. - Roald Dahl Everything is theater. - Fernando Pessoa This life, which had been the tomb of his virtue and of his honour, is but a walking shadow; a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more: it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. - William Shakespeare I count religion but a childish toy And hold there is no sin but ignorance. - Christopher Marlowe Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today i am wise, so I am changing myself. - Rumi I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult. - EB White I wanted to change the world. But I have found that the only thing one can be sure of changing is oneself. -Aldous Huxley He who controls the past controls the future, he who controls the present controls the past -George Orwell The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn. -Alvin Toffler Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors where there were only walls. - Joseph Campbell Since everything is a reflection of our minds, everything can be changed by our minds. - Buddha All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become. - Buddha Move and the way will open - Zen Proverb Those who forget good and evil and seek only to know the facts are more likely to achieve good than those who view the world through the distorting medium of their own desires. - Bertrand Russel Everyone that you fight is not your enemy and everyone who helps you is not your friend. - Mike Tyson To those who have exhausted politics, nothing remains but abstract thought. - Honore de Balzac Write something to suit yourself and many people will like it; write something to suit everybody and scarcely anyone will care for it. -Jesse Stuart The purpose of a writer is to keep civilization from destroying itself. - Albert Camus You can't fake it, you got to live it. -Hank Williams My brain is only a receiver, in the Universe there is a core from which we obtain knowledge, strength, inspiration. I have not penetrated into the secrets of this core, but I know it exists. - Nikola Tesla Each person’s task in life is to become an increasingly better person. - Tolstoy Yes: I am a dreamer. For a dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world. -Oscar Wilde To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all - Oscar Wilde A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent upon arriving. ~ A good artist lets his intuition lead him wherever it wants. - Lǎozǐ Those who are wise won't be busy, and those who are too busy can't be wise. - Lin Yutang Poetry is nearer to vital truth than history. - Plato Painting is silent poetry, and poetry is painting that speaks. - Plutarch "Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing. - Benjamin Franklin Language is a virus from outer space - William S.

You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to. - Bilbo Baggins Il est ecrit que la vie se refugie en un seul espace. (It is written that life takes refuge in a single space.) In medio tutissimus ibis Hilaritas sapientiae et bonae vitae proles"
